MEET PHIL.
Two vintage synth filter circuits.
Two very different sounds.
Phil is a love letter to the golden age of analog synthesis, capturing the warmth, drift, and delicious imperfections of two very famous synth filter circuits with meticulous accuracy.
JUNIPER
In 1982, a Japanese polysynth changed everything. Impossibly smooth and dripping in liquid warmth, Juniper captures the legendary silky resonance that made bedroom producers sound like chart-toppers and defined new wave, synthpop, and ambient music for decades; now with the flexibility of continuous parameter control.
A precise emulation of the legendary IR3109 filter, our four OTA poles meet zero-delay feedback and component-level variance modeling, leaving you with more than a lowpass filter. Juniper is a hardware-validated, spectrum-analyzed, and A/B tested recreation of 1982's secret weapon that still covers the airwaves today.
KOKO
In 1978, a Japanese monosynth introduced a filter so aggressive it became infamous. Decades later, the eurorack community resurrected that chaos, and took it even further. Koko captures both in one filter. The fighting-resonance topology of dual OTA filters clashing in series, creating complex interactions no single filter could achieve. Clean band-pass surgery to the beautiful bedlam of converging resonance peaks that defined techno and acid music for decades.
A precise emulation of modern the vintage synth filter and the eurorack rebirth, 2-pole and 1-pole filters share resonance and a pre-filter saturation adds the grit and warmth that defined an instantly iconic sound..
Hardware-validated, spectrum-analyzed, and chaos-tested; this is the filter that taught aggression to be musical.
